Session Description

Integrating sociotechnical issues within technically-focused engineering courses is crucial for preparing graduates for their professional careers but it is challenging. Many engineering instructors feel unprepared to incorporate such content into their curricula given their typically narrow technical education and lack of time for developing appropriate course materials. To address this challenge, we are developing a series of short (1-hour) instructional modules that link fundamental electrical circuits concepts to broader social issues, thereby making it easier for instructors to embed social ...
